You’re in luck, I just had this problem today and got it solved! :) Also on Fedora (38) with an Intel UHD 620.
Proof:
First I got Photoshop 2020 from m0nkrus, because that’s a patched version without the online activation. I installed it with qemu on a virtualized Windows 11 to get all of the files (because the installer depends on an unimplemented mshtml function and is just a white, unuseable window in wine).
Then I prepared a custom wineprefix with all of the neccessary files:
WINEPREFIX=~/.wine-adobe winetricks -q allfonts fontsmooth=rgb gdiplus atmlib vcrun2008 vcrun2010 vcrun2012 vcrun2013 vcrun2022 msxml3 msxml6
I copied all of the files in the C:/Program Files/Adobe and C:/Program Files/Common/Adobe directories into the same directories in ~/.wine-adobe/drive_c.
That’s enough, you can now run Photoshop with a command like this:
WINEPREFIX=~/.wine-adobe wine ~/.wine-adobe/drive_c/Program\ Files/Adobe/Adobe\ Photoshop\ 2020/Photoshop.exe
or create a nice looking app shortcut with wine-create-shortcut.
Some things to note: The “new” file open dialogue doesn’t work, you have to disable it in settings. Otherwise, nothing will happen when trying to create a new file.
Adobe Illustrator 2021 also works fine, but you need to build your own variant of wine with a patched gdi32.dll. The most annoying part was getting all of the -devel.i686 packages in Fedora, which took a lot of googling around. Haven’t documented the full list while doing it, sadly.
Fantastic work getting this going. I really think if this were to be streamlined, it would be able to convince me (and plenty others) to switch to Linux full time. Seems like something that could be handled automatically given a few parameters but publishing it would be a bitch
Something like Bottlescould work, but since the installer portion of recent Adobe apps is broken, there would be no way of creating a useful installer.
I hope, support for these apps will improve in the future, as wine gets better. Just a few years ago, running Photoshop was a much bigger PITA, which is why I stuck with Windows for so long.
